PTFE is the material of choice whenever low temperature flexibility or gasket memory is not required (not recommended where large temperature variations occur frequently, leakage can occur). PTFE has almost no extractables, has a low absorption rate and excellent resistance to process fluids. It can remain in service for longer periods of time in both water and steam. For continuous use, high pressure clamps are recommended to prevent leakage resulting from temperature variations.
